In A Demons Possession
Chapter 10
Lord Kyubi's borders...Within Fire Country...
Kimimaro had led his small team from the human village, and had arrived at their destination. He had quickly signalled them to spread out and conceal their chakra to prevent their presences being discovered by the Kyubi's borders. This mission was only to observe the terrain and see if their was any routes possible where a select few of the team he was envisioning would get through.
They had been scouting for over an hour when Kimimaro had ordered them to reconvene and to head back to the village before they was sighted. He wanted to know about all the demons they may encounter once they begin their mission.
The journey back was done without delay as they entered inside and headed back to the large estate where Kabuto was awaiting him by the entrance.
"How was the mission?" Kabuto asked
"We didn't encounter anyone, but yet, we didn't go into their borders, before I can decide how to proceed I need you to report on the demons that follow the demon fox" Kimimaro reported.
"Very well, I have received word from Lord Orochimaru, one of his snake summons arrived and wishes to discuss a few things with you and a potential plan that would help our mission." Kabuto replied.
Kimimaro raised a brow and nodded as he was about to enter the room towards the summons, but he felt a hand upon his arm holding him back so he stopped and turned curiously. He looked at Kabuto giving him a glare hating him touching him. Kimimaro respected Orochimaru but not Kabuto, the grey haired glasses wearing demon noticed the narrowed eyes as he removed his hand trying to hide his smirk he wasn't scared of the demon in front of him at all, he was just a pawn like the rest of his team for his Lord and that's all.
"It seems that whilst you was away your two teammates broke orders"
"What?"
"Sakon and Ukon...They ambushed the female demon Kin and attempted to rape her in one of the storage buildings on the other side of this village. Dosu and Tayuya found her and Dosu used one of his abilities on them, I found them and brought them both back to be treated after Tayuya informed me. Kin so far I haven't seen but according to Tayuya they stopped it in time." Kabuto informed him.
Kimimaro felt his anger start to rise, he had specifically told those three not to touch her, and only Kidomaru had listened, he suspected just barely. Sakon and Ukon were another case entirely and he would make sure they were punished severely for it.
"I will see to those two after I see what Lord Orochimaru suggests" Kimimaro answered
Kimimaro headed on into the room where the summons was currently at, he saw a black king Cora snake raised of the floor hissing as he stepped towards it. Only himself and Kabuto was present as the snake began to talk.
"My massster hasss sssent me to inform you of a new development that will help sssecure the girl quickly and efficently" The snake spoke.
"Very well we are listening" Kimimaro replied intrigued
oOoOo
Ino had brought Hinata back to Naruto's quarters, she sat with her as she watched Hinata cry worrying about her cousin Neji.
"Come on Hinata-chan...I promise you he is with some good fighters, Tenten is the demon huntress and really seems to like him so I know she will watch over him." Ino assured her.
Hinata sniffed and nodded her head as she wiped her eyes that were red from her tears.
"Hinata-chan...I heard that your village was invaded and that you had escaped, where were you heading to?" Ino asked curious to start some sort of conversation.
"M-My father h-had told Neji nii to take m-me to t-the next human village i-in wind country" Hinata answered
"Oh...Well I heard that the human villages have been pillaged Hinata-chan, most of your kind are hiding all over the place in fear of being captured" Ino informed her softly
Hinata grimaced at the news she had no idea that it was so bad for her kind. Her father wouldn't allow her out of the village and she suspected that that was the main reason. She remembered briefly that leading up to the days before her life changed forever, her father had held many private meetings with a few of his most trusted. She had a feeling that her father knew this was all going to happen and was preparing for the worst.
The door opened revealing Naruto who stepped inside, Hinata felt her cheeks warm and began to fidget on the bed that she was sat on feeling extremely nervous.
"My lord!?" Ino bowed
"Thank you Ino you are excused for now, can you ask Teuchi and Ayame to prepare some food and to deliver it here for me?" Naruto softly asked
"Of course Lord Naruto" Ino answered with a small smile.
"Also I will need you go check over Choji and make sure if he's ok? Sakura-chan is out on a mission with teme."
"Yes Lord Naruto" Ino replied as she bowed and left out the room.
Hinata felt extremely nervous now finding that they was alone except for the fox summon that was making purring noises as she greeted him.
"How do you feel Hinata?" Naruto asked in a soft voice.
Hinata blinked as she finally looked up to him her heart beating erratically within her. His eyes staring at her as he had now took a seat on the chair as Kisa jumped upon his lap wanting affection which he relented. For some reason the scene in front of her looked quite comical seeing a demon give affection to an animal nonetheless and she let out a small giggle feeling more relaxed for some reason than before when he had entered.
The blonde heard her laughter and thought inwardly that he liked the sound of it, he had to admit seeing her not long ago looking upset and hearing her sobs unnerved him. There was so many new emotions stirring within him that it did confuse him somewhat, but he knew deep down that was to be expected his father had explained in great detail what would happen when they found their intended mate.
Naruto was a demon of the highest order, a small fraction selected out of the thousands to contain a power of a great beast by the great demon sage himself. He was chosen before he was born, the only sign was a large distinct birth mark that was around his stomach. He was told from an early age what he held within him and was trained daily by not only both his parents but his godfather and Kakashi, to the point of exhaustion to.
"I-I'm f-fine" A quiet voice nervously answered him that broke him from his thoughts.
"Tenten requested me to allow your cousin to accompany her and the team to patrol our boarders, she thinks very highly of your cousin and that in itself is rare coming from her. I allowed her request because this is very dangerous times within our world Hinata, I know you don't trust us, I mean why should you? I will be straight forth in saying I don't trust human's either, but I have a reason not to." Naruto began
He sighed after he had stopped still stroking Kisa who was comfortably lying upon his lap with her eyes closed enjoying the attention he was giving.
"However I must tell you that yes me and my friends are demon's and to be straight with you, humans are a dying breed these last few years as they are being targeted by my kind and hunted. We however are not as bad as some of our kind outside these borders. I explained this to your cousin and I feel that I must also tell you. But I will hold it off for now until you have eaten as i know that you haven't since you were brought here." Naruto finished.
"D-Did Neji nii go w-willingly?" Hinata had to ask him, the question itself was plaguing her mind.
"Yes he did once I had told him our reasons." Naruto replied.
Hinata knew that he was telling her the truth in his answer and sighed in slight relief, although she wouldn't be completely calm until she knew that her cousin was back safely.
The sounds of knocking alerted them as Naruto bid them to enter, the door opened showing another female who had a slender build, with long dark brown hair and large black eyes with fair skin. She was wearing a white robe with the sleeves folded, a sort of dark blue apron with ribbon ties at the top, and a bright white bandana on her head. She was pushing a large sort of trolley filled with delicious looking foods with enticing aromas that had her stomach growl loudly in protest.
"Ah Ayame-chan, I didn't think it would arrive so quickly, please tell your father that as always he surprises me...As also do you" Naruto warmly stated with a smile and soft look that Hinata couldn't help herself noticing.
"It's no problem my Lord, this is nothing compared for what you have done for us" Ayame replied as she bowed.
Hinata watched and wondered what she meant by that, for some reason she couldn't feel the presence of demonic chakra and wondered if this woman was in fact human like herself which left her confused slightly.
"Will that be all my Lord?" Ayame asked
"That will be all thank you Ayame-chan tell your old man I will be by later to pay a visit as always" Naruto stated with a small smile.
"He will look forward to it my Lord now please eat up or it will be cold" Ayame stated as she left the room closing the door behind her.
"W-Was she also human?" Hinata asked curious.
Naruto who had stood up, as Kisa had jumped down from his lap had moved towards the trolley selecting the delicious food that was on display, beckoning the bluenette to also choose something from the trolley. He could see her curiosity and inwardly he was pleased that she was making attempts at conversation with him, it was a small sign to him that she was accepting his presence somewhat.
"Yes you are correct...You see I don't trust humans as i have already told you...My trust only falls to a very small few. One of them is the demon huntress Tenten, I found her severely injured on a battlefield fought between demons. She was close to death but I could tell by just talking to her that she believed wholeheartedly on honour, something that I agree with her upon but sadly is now a rare commodity these days." Naruto explained.
His blue eyes watched her walk towards the trolley looking over the foods greatly displayed as she selected what she wanted as she listened intently to his words. The way her body clung to the purple silk made his urges begin to appear but he took a deep breath and reigned them in, enjoying himself in her company so far as he continued.
"I took her in and ordered her wounds to be treated and for her to recover in my home here, much to the confusion of the others. Tenten has since remained here and has easily won other the others more so with certain individuals I will admit I've noticed. However I do have two other humans here that have lived here for quite a while now."
Hinata had began to eat and had to admit the food tasted divine to her palette, as her stomach rejoiced at having food at last.
"That was Ayame and her father's name is Teuchi, they are also human. Before things got really bad both my parents, when they travelled always went to a little ramen stall that was owned by Teuchi. My mother loved his dishes and he always served them never being prejodiced regarding who they were. They grew to be good friends even taking me their a few times as i got to know both Teuchi and his daughter." Naruto reminisced
But a few years ago now, the land of waves where they lived was taken over by a human warlord named Gato. He had invaded with the help of rogue demons working for him for money, and had over run their home and had enslaved the people. When my parents heard of the news they immediately set off to help in any way they could. They had found Teuchi severely beaten and his stall completely destroyed, Ayame however was nowhere to be seen. My mother treated him and he had told them that Gato's men had taken the females and had killed everyone else."
Hinata's eyes widened as she gasped in horror to his story.
"My parents were outraged and promised Teuchi that they would find Ayame, and bring them both back with them. It didn't take long for my parents to find Gato's base, Ayame was being held in a cage with the other females as my mother set to work freeing them. My father took vengeance against those that did these awful acts. A few demons escaped, they were being cheated by Gato who wouldn't pay them what he had promised and had escaped when they realised who had come to the humans rescue. Gato pissed himself in fear as my father put out his miserable life very painfully. The other females though had scattered once they were released not trusting my parents but Ayame sobbed in relief to my mother, who told her that her father was still alive." Naruto recounted
"My parents then brought both of them back here and insisted that they lived here and would be protected by us as it clearly wasn't safe for them anymore. Teuchi agreed seeing how affected his daughter was and how useless he was to protect her. They have been here ever since and to me they are my closest family." Naruto finished
Hinata nodded and felt a few tears had passed down her cheeks at the story, she never knew it was that bad out there and shivered inwardly at the thought. Naruto finished his food and was glad to see she had eaten also, he decided that he would inform her more as he had promised.
"As I said before Hinata, I protect my friends who I consider my family as we have all lost someone in this war, some more so than others. We all work together to keep each other and our lands safe from those that want to invade. I told your cousin who the dangers was from and he agreed to assist us on the matter to help keep you safe from harm"
"M-Me...b-but!?"
"Your village had fallen for a reason Hinata...The snake demon Orochimaru wants to get his hands on not only your bloodline but you especially"
Hinata gasped at the news and felt a mixture of emotions from fear, horror and shock also guilt and regret. Naruto could sense her emotions and sighed feeling it extremely difficult to comfort her without wanting to give into his urges that were shouting at him to take her.
"However that won't happen, as i won't let it." Naruto firmly told her.
Hinata looked st him seeing his determined eyes gazing at hers with complete confidence in his words. Hinata couldn't help but blush at the intensity in his deep blue eyes as his eyes just held its gaze upon her own. Hinata felt her heart beat loudly as she truly took this demon lord fully in fir the first time since her capture by him.
The easily recognisable blonde hair was spikey at the top but long, each of the sides nearly touched his shoulders. His eyes the deepest blue that she also knew flickered and turned the deepest shade of red. Three distinctive lines were present on each side of his face, he was very tall around over 6ft in height which was big towards her own height which was quite short as she reached his upper chest area. He was lean and very muscular from what she could make out. He wore black pants that came to his ankles and an orange top that had black markings on as well as a white long coat with red flames over the top.
Naruto could tell that she was looking him over as he watched her curiously, and was smirking inwardly at the action but kept his features neutral. He was honest in his words though, there was no way he would let anyone take this human female from him, she was his and would only be his from this day forward. Those that dared to try to take her from him would face not only his wrath but face a most vicious death as anyone knew foxes was protective especially to their mate.
"Besides...Enough about that hime...I have also come here to show you around my home" Naruto announced causing Hinata to jump and blush a very deep shade of red for brazenly looking him over.
Hinata could only nod as she felt deeply embarrased and was relieved that he seemed not to have noticed, well she certainly hoped he did. Naruto again stood up holding out his hand which she carefully placed her own trembling hand against. Naruto gave a small smile as he grasped it gently and led her out of his private chambers with Kisa following them close behind.
oOoOo
Fire border outskirts...
Sakura and Sasuke had been travelling a few hours gathering what they needed between them to make fast work, Sasuke was a quick learner as the pinkette showed him what plants and herbs they needed to look out for that was desperately needed for future use. They had reached the edge of their borders within fire country in record time and knew that here on out would be dangerous for both of them as they made their way out of their safe borders.
To save time as the daylight they had to work with wouldn't last long Sasuke suggested they split up and gather what they could in the area. Sakura knew where the certain plants and herbs grew, the pinkette agreed knowing that time was not on their side, as long as they got what they could it was something at least.
Sakura had located a few herbs that was growing around the bottom of a large rock carefully selecting them and placing them in a storage scroll she had already had out ready to keep them intact for the journey back. Sasuke wasn't to far away also looking at what plants and herbs would be useful to their people back home.
Sasuke the last day or so had done a lot of thinking to himself and his future. Although his emotions was in a tug of war between two females one human the other demon, he knew that he had to finally make a decision. He had gathered what he had recognized and headed back to Sakura's location. It was getting darker and although there was still items on the list still needed, it would have to suffice for now.
He walked a few steps when he felt a few presences coming in the distance behind him and quickly concealed his chakra as he jumped into one of the trees before sending a clone of himself to check on Sakura and warn her. He heard talking and knew instantly they was male, as they came closer he could tell it was neither of their allies and from the looks of it they were not from the land of fire.
Sasuke kept his senses sharp as he watched they were talking and laughing about something or someone they had captured and was holding them nearby. Using his eyes his cast them under a genjutsu what his clan was well known for as he landed behind the group of three. He couldn't feel any others around as he took out his sharp sword and beheaded them without question.
The blood splatter hit his pale face as his blood red eyes took in the surroundings, he felt his clone disperse and was relieved to know that Sakura was unharmed and on her way towards him as he flicked his sword to remove the blood that dripped down the sharp blade. Sakura was there within minutes already in combat mode with her leather glove upon her hand, her green eyes burning with intensity as she looked at him.
"Where are they from?" Sakura asked hunched over their bodies trying to find out which country they were from.
"Not sure, I heard them talking about someone or someone's captured and must be close by. I'm going in ahead to check it out. I want you to head back to our borders where it is safe" Sasuke commanded
"W-What!?...There's no way I'm leaving you Sasuke-kun! We will go together and check it out" Sakura protested
"Sakura..." Sasuke warned his tone dark.
Sakura flinched at his tone, but steeled her resolve.
"I'm not leaving you out here alone Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura retorted right back her green eyes ablaze with fury.
They both looked at each other black and red clashed with intense emerald green, neither one giving in to each others demands. Sasuke grit his teeth he didn't want to tell her yet, he didn't want to admit that it was because he was scared she would be hurt or worse yet captured. It wasn't just female humans that was preyed upon these days it was the demon one's too. He just couldn't bare to lose another person he cared deeply about.
He lost his parents and most of his clan, and still searched for a few members that was not accountable at the battle, his elder brother Itachi, his three cousins Shisui, Obito and Tobi as well as Izumi, Itachi's close friend since childhood.
"Please Sasuke-kun...I just can't leave you alone what would Lord Naruto and Kakashi think!?" Sakura reasoned
Sasuke sighed as his shoulders slightly slumped nodding his defeat, he knew that she would just follow him anyway regardless, if he wanted her to follow him or not. Better to have her beside him than to have her follow out of his reach.
"Fine...But stay close and on gaurd as we don't know how many there are out there" Sasuke stated
Sakura nodded as Sasuke, had already jumped up into the trees and Sakura began to follow right behind him.
oOoOo
Otogakure...Orochimaru's fortress
The room was starting to get darker as the snake demon Orochimaru summoned a flame jutsu on his long narrow finger as he lit the wick of a candle beside him. He had sensed that his summon had already dissapeared not to long, and he grinned wickedly knowing that the demon Kyubi wouldn't know what hit him.
Due to his vast array of spies placed out far and wide that gave him reports on the other countries activities, he had managed to broker an alliance between the Kazekage clan's leader Rasa. For their support in invading the kyubi's lands along with his armies for a certain price in exchange as well as the land and clans itself apart from a few that he himself wanted.
He had also exchanged a few of the woman female prisoner's that he had recently captured and had left to spare as a gesture of good will in a way. Not only that he had just unlocked an ancient, yet powerful jutsu that would turn the tides of this war in his favour. Every demon clan in this world would pay handsomely for the secrets he had just unlocked. Or they would cower and fall to their knees if he decided to invade and take them over.
He had plenty of prisoners at the ready to use as exchange according to the ancient texts of the particular scroll. Soon he would have the demon kyubi on his knees as well as a few of his arch enemies to kill off too. Not only will he have the beautiful Hyuga princess in his hands and in his bed he would also have a few valuable prisoners in his clutches to research and experiment on, especially the Sharingan from the Uchiha clan, which he had always desired.
He heard the footsteps of one of his followers enter his thrine room as he turned to look at him, who was already knelt down with his head bowed.
"Ahhh...Mizuki, I trussst you bring me further newsss from my new alliesss?" Orochimaru questioned the sliver haired demon.
"Greetings my Lord...Yes I brings news from their leader Rasa. He is sending a small group of his best to rendezvous with your men at the human village. They will be leaving shortly and should arrive within 2 days at their speed." Mizuki reported
"Very well I want you to reconvene with my men at the human village and notify Kabuto of what you have jusst told me. You will be the eyesss and earsss of what goesss on and you are to report any peculiar behaviour once they arrive do you underssstand?"
"Yes my Lord"
"You are to leave immediately. Make sssure you are not dissscovered"
Mizuki nodded as he turned and left the snake to his devices as he looked at a picture of the princess.
"Very sssoon my dear, your blood line and you yoursself will be mine" Orochimaru spoke as he cackled loudly within the room.
